IMPACT SOFTWARE

Impact Software Suite, with over 120 inspection tools and 50 user interface controls, allows users to create unique inspection
programs and develop user interfaces quickly and easily.
All this can be done without the loss of flexibility, like traditional configurable systems, or the need for vast amounts of
development time like traditional SDK environments.
Impact Software powers the full line of integrated vision solutions, from simple to complex. The investment in software and
training is preserved as inspections grow. Programs for the same inspections can be easily shared or transferred across multiple
inspection points within the factory.
One software – countless applications!

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

One software fits all
The entire range of smart cameras and embedded processors can be configured through the Impact Software suite. Users need only learn one program thus shortening their learning curve. Once developed, the same application can be used on different hardware platforms with no modifications or reprogramming.Ease-of-use
Impact Software suite is a graphical user interface where no programming is required. Neither VPM nor CPM forces a user to write code. Rather, developers need only to dragand- drop tools into the tree view and set parameters. Thanks to the embedded emulator,
settings can be tested immediately with images previously stored on the PC.Wide range of controls
With more than 120 controls, Impact is one of the most complete machine vision software suites available on the market. Image filtering, calibration, feature locating, flaw detection, measurement, and code reading are just few examples of the wide range of tools available which allow users to solve even the most challenging applications.Control Panel Manager (CPM)
Developers can easily create a customized user interfaces thanks to Control Panel Manager (CPM). This software allows users to build up full HMIs just by dragging and dropping controls onto a panel. Authorized operators have the possibility to check images, results and
statistics as well as to adjust or modify the working parameters of inspection tasks.

Control Panel Manager (CPM) simplifies development of operator interfaces while providing the ability to make on-the-fly
adjustments to critical machine controls. Use CPM to create operator interface panels to view and adjust critical machine controls.

ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ПО IMPACT

FEATURE FINDING

• Detect presence/absence of objects
• Detect randomly oriented or amorphously shaped objects
• Verify whether an object grayscale or color is within acceptable
range
• Identify edges of uniformly bright or dark objects
• Determine the sharpness of an edge through the use of gradient

FLAW DETECTION

• Determine if objects are out of range
• Filter objects based on size and shape
• Detect differences between a trained object and run-time objects.
• Detect subtle defects in varying background
• Detect defects along the boundary edge of objects

LOCATE

• Use a locate tool to find the object itself
or a feature within the object to use as a
reference for other tools
• Edge detection to find the corner of an
object
• Find the center of mass of an object
• Multiple pattern find tools can be used to
find a trained pattern within the image in
360° rotation

• Pixel or subpixel accuracies are possible
• Measure the angle between to linear objects
• Make multiple measurements within one tool
• Point to point and pont to line measurements
• Measure radius, center, and concentricity of circular objects

CODE READERS & OCR

• State of the art 1D and 2D barcode readers. Find multiple codes
within one image
• Extremely wide range of code symbologies supported
• Omni-directional code reading
• OCR – Optical Character Recognition – able to read character
strings
• OCV – Optical Character Verification – able to verify if the
content of a string matches with a trained one

LOGIC PROGRAMMING

• Tree-view programming structure allows
for better tool organization and only run
tools when requested
• Logic tools allow for decision-making
capabilities without scripting
• Perform logical and mathematical
calculations in a flexible and easy way

IMAGE CALIBRATION

• Allows a user to remove perspective and
radial distortion from an image as well
as convert pixel to real world values
• Unwrap a curved object or correct a
slanted object within an image (primarily
used with OCR)
• Combine multiple images into one large
image
• Reduce resolution by sampling the
image
